DC hound girls weekend - need help!

My girlfriend is getting married so a bunch of us have planned a trip to NOLA for the last hurrah. We are staying in the W Hotel and will be going out for at least one nice dinner as a group. Would ideally like a hip place, moderately priced although it is a celebration so would be willing to pay for the perfect meal. Any suggestions?? any kind of food is great

Also i am the only person going that has already been to New Orleans before so while the other gals do the touristy things I plan on bumming around alone and trying to get to know the city on a deeper level. Any suggested lunch spots that cannot be missed and that will be ok for a single diner? Thanks all!

      check out Rambla in the International Hotel, not far from where you are staying. LOA is the bar next door, so have a drink there before or after dinner.

        Sat. is Valentine's Day so you wil need resv. If you can't get one, your best bet would be places that never take them : Dick/Jenny's or Jacques Imos. If you want to avoid a long wait, get there about 15 min prior to opening. There will be parades so getting around may be difficult.

            I've eaten at Dick and Jenny's several times since the change in the kitchen. Everything is still wonderful, and I might even be so bold to suggest that there's been improvement. All the plates look great and the specials they've been offering recently have been stellar.
